Profile:
A versatile all rounder, Roger Binny proved his value to the
Indian team in both Test cricket and the one day game. He was capable
of rescuing India, like he did while scoring 83 not out and sharing a
record 155 run seventh wicket partnership with Madan Lal against
Pakistan at Bangalore in 1983. He was capable of bowling India to
victory, like he did in taking seven wickets in the match at
Headingley in 1986. Or when with a spell of four for nine in 30 balls
towards his best Test figures of six for 56 he pushed Pakistan to the
wall at Calcutta in 1987. But there is no doubt that Binny's most
outstanding feats were associated with limited overs cricket - and
more specifically the 1983 World Cup. He played a leading role in
India's victorious campaign taking 18 wickets, then the record in the
competition.
Tall and athletically built, Binny was an aggressive batsman who
could either open the innings or go in the middle order, was a medium
pace bowler who could swing the ball both ways and was particularly
effective in English conditions and an excellent field. He first made
his mark when putting on a record unbroken partnership of 451 runs for
the first wicket with Sanjay Desai in the Ranji Trophy game against
Kerala in 1977-78, his share being 211. He was generally in and out of
the Indian team but whenever he was persevered with, he proved his
value. With the ball, he was capable of destructive spells like when
he dismissed Majid Khan, Zaheer Abbas and Miandad at Bombay in 1979 to
put Pakistan on the backfoot or when he dismissed Greenidge, Haynes
and Richards to rock the West Indies at Ahmedabad in 1983. A
Karnataka stalwart for several years, Binny later made his mark as a
coach and was given a lot of credit for the victory of the Under-19
team in the World Cup in Sri Lanka in January 2000. (Partab
